GROUNDSKEEPING
The 200mm unit is available with four , six , eight or 10 blades and a floating head option for terrain where excellent contour following is essential and is particularly suited to finer applications such as sports pitches , playing fields and school grounds .
The larger 250mm version , which is available with four , six or eight blades , comes into its own mowing longer or dense grass , and can easily cut down grass 125mm ( 5 inch ) or longer to less than 25mm ( 1 inch ) in one pass .
Large diameter high-specification tyres , a robust rear-axle and superb levels of ground clearance mean the machine takes kerbs in its stride .
VERSATILE CUTTING Toro Groundsmaster 360 Quad-Steer
This zero-turn mower gives superb performance and manoeuvrability . Powered by a 36hp / 26.8kW Kubota four-cylinder engine , it features Quad-Steer all-wheel-drive steering for maximum productivity in uneven undulating terrains .
Commercial rotary mowers can work incredibly hard for a living .
Expected to cope not just with a variety of mowing tasks , they have to be able to travel extended distances between jobs , scale what can be really steep kerbs and deliver a good finish , with well contained clippings , sometimes in far from ideal conditions .
Fistly the Groundsmaster 360 is a jolly good mower first and with the benefit of its unique Quad-Steer system second . After all , agility is worth nothing if it comes with any compromise in the mower itself . Put the two together and what you have is a machine that is an absolute doddle to drive . It literally turns on a sixpence and is so easy to place it takes a degree of skill to unintentionally hit something . It ’ s fast , tight and can cut around anything all without leaving a mark on the turf .
In a nutshell , it can tackle the sort of demanding agile mowing that has long been reserved for pedestrian and , more recently , zero-turn rideon mowers .
SMALL BUT MIGHTY Toro Groundsmaster 7210
This small area zero-turn rotary mower doesn ’ t believe in a day off . Its powerful 3-cylinder , liquid-cooled 25hp Kubota diesel engine gets the job done time after time . Durable heavy-duty 7-gauge welded steel cutting deck construction and the industry ’ s toughest spindle assembly assures a long life while tackling the toughest of groundscare jobs with ease . Optional accessories mean this has the capabilities for more than mowing , it has the added versatility for removing snow , grooming infields and blowing leaves too .
